I am looking for the cabrinha kite that has the lowest bar pressure. I currently have a 9m omega and a 12m Xbow2. I love these kites apart from the bar pressure which is limiting the amount of time i can spend on the water as my left hand cramps up after 30 min.
Want to know which of the current cabrinha range has the lowest pressure and how they compare to what i have.

2:1 is pretty much obsolete now, there isn't much point for it. You get exactly the same depower in 1:1 mode, you just have to throw the bar a bit further. I might be wrong, but I don't think Cabrinha make any 2:1 control systems now, so they will all be light bar pressure. Also the newer ones have two bridle settings in the 1:1 mode.

Another thing, with the original Xbow you could carry out a mod on the bridle which greatly reduced the bar pressure, but I'm not sure if you can do the same with the Xbow 2, I thought they built it into the Xbow 2?? - might be worth looking at though, if you can't afford a new one.

You'll probably get something like a 2008 Convert well cheap, same as the Omega, but doesn't give you quite the same range as the Xbow, but they are great all round kites.
